Chapter 929: Lowest Ranking of Them All
This was also the first time Zhang family ever found out that Zhang Jiasen actually had a mistress. However, this mistress was actually testifying against Zhang Jiasen. The Zhang family couldn’t accept this.
Since she was Zhang Jiasen’s woman, it was unacceptable that she did something like this. Zhang Jiasen’s mother especially felt that Xue Manman had committed a great crime.
No one seemed to have considered what Ning Shu, this wife, felt finding out that her husband had cheated. No one showed any concern for her feelings.
Ning Shu laughed. In the Zhang family, the daughter-in-law was the lowest being that had no dignity.
Above her there were the sisters-in-law, the brothers-in-law, the husband Zhang Jiasen, and above that there was the father and mother-in-laws who had absolute authority.
This family had so many rankings, and Miao Miaomiao was the lowest ranking of them all since she was also an outsider.
The judging was still ongoing. Due to Zhang Jiasen’s crime of embezzling and accepting bribes, and the fact that he had embezzled over a hundred thousand, he was sentenced to ten years in prison and all his stolen assets were confiscated.
Meanwhile, since Xue Manman had helped conceal these crimes and helped with the disposal of the stolen goods, she was sentenced to three years in jail. However, since she had taken the initiative to supply crime evidence, her sentence was shortened to two years.
When Zhang Jiasen’s mother heard this pronouncement, she immediately stood up and shouted, “No! My son was just taking money from his own wife’s family! How can this count as embezzling?”
In any case, in the Zhang family’s opinion, Zhang Jiasen was just using his own family’s money. In their opinion, the Miao family belonged to Zhang Jiasen.
“Quiet. Out-of-court personnel are not to make a ruckus. If there’s a next time, you’ll be requested to leave the spectator area,” said the judge expressionlessly as he knocked his hammer against the desk.
Zhang Jiasen’s mother’s face was dark red. A lot of reporters were taking photos of her which made her feel even more at a loss and freeze in place.
Zhang Jiasen’s father pulled her to sit down, his face ashen. He pulled very hard, so Zhang Jiasen’s mother fell down so hard her face twisted with pain. However, she didn’t dare to say anything.
Zhang Jiasen turned around to look at his family. As he was turning back around, he saw Ning Shu who was sitting in the corner and he stiffened.
Ning Shu met Zhang Jiasen’s gaze and he immediately shifted his gaze away shamefully. It was clear that what happened between him and Xue Manman earlier made him feel very humiliated.
Zhang Jiasen had turned his head away, but Ning Shu could see that his body was trembling slightly and his figure seemed to stoop over.
Could it be that he felt too embarrassed to face her? Since he was able to do those things, why couldn’t he face them?
Zhang Jiasen could also feel embarrassed?
He was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. Ning Shu smiled. Embezzling and accepted bribes was a huge crime. If Father Miao decided to settle it privately, of course Zhang Jiasen would be fine. However, if it was treated seriously, Zhang Jiasen really had to face the consequences.
This was just the sentence for embezzlement. What if the crime for inciting another to commit a crime was added on?
She was going to expose all of Zhang Jiasen’s evil conducts so that the world could see what a beast he was underneath that skin.
He scammed a marriage, tried to poison his father-in-law to death, accepted bribes and embezzled, and kept a mistress. Yet a person like this had managed to obtain success and was respected by others.
